Turning from the external world and enjoying the objectless bliss, the mind feels that the world of objects is not for it. Prior to this experience the un satiating sense enjoyments constantly challenged the mind to satisfy them, but from the inward turn onwards its interest in them begins to fade. Once the internal bliss is enjoyed, the external happiness loses its charm. One who has tasted the inward bliss is naturally loving and free from envy, contented and happy with others &amp; prosperity, friendly and innocent and free from deceit. He is full of the mystery and wonder of the bliss. One who has realized the Self can never inflict pain on other.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Nisargadatta Maharaj<br /><br />(self knowledge and realization) Sat, 16 Aug 2008 04:06:44 -0000 http://souljourney.gaia.com/blog/2008/8/nisargadatta_maharaj Mastering the Mirage_Mooji http://souljourney.gaia.com/blog/2008/8/mastering_the_mirage_mooji <zaadz_holding id="93227" /> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 03:39:21 -0000 http://souljourney.gaia.com/blog/2008/8/mastering_the_mirage_mooji How do you allow for expansion in your life? http://souljourney.gaia.com/blog/2008/8/how_do_you_allow_for_expansion_in_your_life <span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span">&quot;I&quot; move out of the way...</span> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:20:33 -0000 http://souljourney.gaia.com/blog/2008/8/how_do_you_allow_for_expansion_in_your_life Adyashanti...
